It was another workman-like effort for Notre Dame, who remained undefeated with a 21-6 win over Boston College.

After several close calls in recent weeks, Notre Dame was able to win by double digits for the first time in three weeks.

Quarterback Everett Golson led the way for Notre Dame, accounting for all three of the Fighting Irish's touchdowns (two passing, one rushing), while throwing for 201 yards and rushing for another 41 yards.

Running back Theo Riddick also contributed 105 yards on the ground to aid a rushing attack that churned out 190 yards on the day.

"We're going to worry about winning," Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly said. "If people don't like us winning, there's nothing we can do."

Boston College was limited to just two field goals despite picking up 20 first downs (one less than the Irish did on the night). Chase Rettig threw for 247 yards for the Eagles in a losing effort.

Notre Dame will next play Wake Forest at home on Nov. 17 before a road date with USC on Nov. 24. With Alabama losing, the Irish will surely move up in the BCS standings, but we will have to wait until Sunday to see if they are in the top two.

"You can't come out and worry about another team that lost. You have to be focused on the task at hand," Notre Dame cornerback Bennett Jackson said. "Wins don't come easy. Boston College plays us hard every year."
